Thumbs down Down with BORING fonts!
Does anyone else share my opinion that the default font of these forums is dreadfully boring.

I think Helvetica or its clone Ariel are the most boring fonts in the world. Making it bigger or bolder or italicized or ALL CAPS doesn't help.

Shouldn't we gays have a classier font?

Century Gothic is nice with all it's big round circles.

The multitude of Roman fonts have a timeless elegance.

And Comic Sans is great for informal conversation

Personally I would like the font that has blood dripping from the letters....
What?.....
That wouldn't work?

But I say down with Helvetica and Ariel send them to the trash can!!

I often enjoy Benjamin Franklin and Baskerville Old Face.

Default font heaven
Be the change you seek?


I'm partial to Book Antiqua. Too bad that there is hardly any posting going on to actually use it. But I digress.

I use it on occasion. It's unique and I like it.

Rick
I totally agree Rick!

Oops, I mean, "I totally agree, Rick!"

How can we discuss issues like civil rights, marriage equality, discrimination, freedom from religious oppression etc., when the all-important issue of fonts is left unmentioned? Where are our priorities?!

Neither are available here, but my two favourites are, hands down ITC French Script and ITC Arnold Boecklin (a glorious Art Nouveau font).

I will remain staid and boring in my font. I am standing upon my laurels.
